I cannot say more, but i just discovered a cool way in which you can easily (very easily, too damn easily) bypass the Windows Activation prompt. I tested it with Windows Server 2008 RC1, but I need some help in testing it in Vista/XP and 2003.

So, if anyone has a VM with either Vista, XP Pro or Windows 2003, and that machine has timed out its activation period, and you'd like to help, ping me.

More info will be released on the main site so keep an eye on it, as it will probably attract some fire...

Note that the purpose of this experiment is NOT to crack/hack or in any ways use a non-legit and illegal copy of Windows. It's just used as a means of getting into Windows AFTER it bombed with the activation screen, change necessary settings, grab files, and then either stop using it (because it's against the EULA), or activate it as needed.
